1920

  I was able to attend a wonderful event that Ariel had invited me to.It was a fun night though I would be lying if I told you I hadn't made a fool of myself at one point.Since I was a guest there,I was given a simple role to play by while Ariel had gotten her role beforehand.So that night,I was apparently a flapper. It would be really hard to tell based on what I wore that night.But anyway I was a flapper and everyone who had attended the event were given an envelope and the contents were the objectives for the night. One of the many objectives that I got was to tell a girl(the main character,i assume) that in order for her to be with the guy,she had to fight with him,and honestly,I had never acted in my life before.Maybe I have for my English work but that didn't count. This,however,I was making my own dialogues and trying to persuade people in believing in me and that I have information about the murderer.I was in character. I was on a role! Haha, get it?no?

   Basically,that was what I'm suppose to do and we were all suppose to be in character the whole night. We were suppose to find out who the killer is. With that being said,yes,somebody was shot that night(not literally,obviously) and we had to find out who murdered the guy. It was really interesting as far the event goes because I had never attended this kind of event.

6th December 2013

Today is the 6th day of December and I'm beginning to feel the Christmas spirit already.In every mall I went,I can see Christmas decorations hanging all over the place in uniform.The Christmas lights twinkle every now and then,the big red bow,and let's not forget Santa. He was all over the place too.I went out today with my dad and my brother and we ate in Pizza Hut.It's been a while since I last ate pizza and it sure did bring me satisfaction.I ordered a personal pan pizza and just 1 slice of it I was already full!That was a first.I usually eat like 3 large slices of pizza.So being the girl I am,I didn't waste my other 3 slices of pizza. I asked the waiter kindly to wrap it up for me so I can bring it back home to eat while watching a movie.

  Speaking of movies, I have been watching movies the entire day for 3 days in a row.Heck,I even slept at 2.45 a.m after the movie finished.And that was the latest time I had ever gone to bed.Ever.In my life.And to my surprise,I did not feel sleepy.So the next day I woke up at 7 in the morning because my mother woke me up to worship.Then after that,I figured I should lie down for a while because that's what I normally do when I wake up early and usually get up 5-10 minutes after to have my breakfast.I guess that day was special because I didn't wake up after.Instead,I woke up at 11 a.m.Again to my surprise,I did not feel dizzy.It was a quaint day.

Anyway,I was really happy that my dad brought me out today.I get to feel the sunlight on my skin and to breathe in the crispy air.To see other faces,unfamiliar faces.

So while my brother and my dad went to buy some shoes,I was already bored after going in to the first shoe shop.They went again because my dad wanted to buy a shoe for himself.I had to go.I had to go somewhere or else I'll die out of boredom.So I went to a book shop to have a look on what they're selling.Remember when I told you that I love meeting someone coincidentally? Well,that happened again.I couldn't believe it,imagine if I didn't go to the book shop. Imagine if I just went along with my dad to another shoe shop(well,not technically a shoe shop,more of like a department store). I wouldn't meet my friend from high school.So we chatted for a while,catching up with each other's life.

  It has been ages since I last bought a book.I love reading and I guess with what is going on this year,I had only spent a tiny fraction of my time reading novels.I was overjoyed when I found books that were sold in a cheaper price than usual.

Both of the books were published a long time ago but I guess for me,it's always nice to read any book that captures my attention and the ones that had been starring at me,and I at it,like I was destined (lol) to buy it.I hope those two books will be wonderful and I hope I could buy more books,I need to do something on the holidays,right? I can't just watch movies all day,but eventually I know I will get sick of it.So I guess reading a book will be refreshing and nice.

 Also, I don't know much about a hole puncher,or how much of it I should know of,but I had been wanting to buy a one hole punch since end of last year,and I haven't got around with it and finally,I was able to find it in the book shop.Waiting for my brother and my dad did bring me good results,haha. The thing is,I went to the same exact book shop to look for it this whole year and I just didn't see it. I had overlook the section where they place all the staplers and whatnot. Lo and behold,my one hole puncher!

Works like a charm.I have few crafts on my mind that I am  planning to do with using this.

It looks really cool.I was expecting a more plastic kind of material,the colored ones,but I found this and I was even more thrilled because it looks really complex.

Hope all of you have a great holiday!

Surprise Ariel

  It was a rather coincidental day when Ariel was given a surprise birthday party on the 13th of September.It's pretty normal.Except it was on Friday,the 13th. Yeah,talk about coincidence.Some of her friends had planned it out for her and had invited me to the party. It was held in Sailor's and it was my first time going there. The food was great,I love the fries they served when I ordered fish&chips. Me and Rhiannon had extra time to shop for her gift together before the party started.We thought we would be late for the party because we spent a lot of time looking for the right gift,but turned out we were one of the people who were early,didn't expect that at all.

It was a lovely night and I enjoyed talking to some people.I wasn't able to stay in time for the cake serving because I had to leave early. Ariel wasn't officially 17 till the next day,but I guess she already felt 17 that night.

The night is young

I've never eaten out for dinner with my friends probably because it's dark and all the bad people come out at night so anything could happen.But now that i'm finally 17 i feel that my parents have implanted their trust on me that i can take care of myself and considering that i am a 'big girl' now they have cut me some slack and have set me free from strict rules!I'm kidding. I still get a 'no' from them and i still need to study every second of the day if possible.But,i doubt that.i laze around on my spare time and hardly ever hit the books.Which is BAD! because this year,my senior year,my last year of high school,I have to take an exam that will qualify me to go to college.And not just any college,a good college that produce quality students and at this time around,i should be struggling and studying to the extreme but what am i doing? That's right, I'm not where I'm suppose to be.I honestly feel like i'm not taking the exam this year.I feel so numb.

    But enough about that,last June,I ate out for dinner with three of my other friends.It was sort of like a farewell dinner and a get together dinner.It was for Sherry because she will be leaving to Penang to further her studies so why not spend the last night eating together right? All of us didn't know where to eat so we rounded the whole of Lintas and finally decided to try something new. The place was called 'Hungry People'. How cliché (not sure if i used it correctly haha). 

Sherry! 

Then later we went to 'Just Berry's' for our desserts. I forgot what's the name of the desert i chose but i know for a fact it has mangoes and i am a total sucker for mangoes.Give me a basket full of mangoes and i will love you. 

It was a cool girl's night out.

IU Day 2013

Take a boat ride to Bahamas!

To be a part of this whole thing is absolutely one of the best experience and i wouldn't trade anything for this. I was up 6 am and had to be there by 7 am to get the finishing touch ups and the mood in the air was good. Everyone was busy preparing and had to be open at 10 am. We sold a lot of things like bracelets,voodoo dolls,tie-dye shirts etc.And as for the food,oh gosh i cant imagine how ever did they come up with those amazing looking,wonderfully made foods. I can't tell you the menu because I sort of forgot what the name was.. But anyway it was good! I,on the other hand,got to try face painting! It took me a while to get use to it due to the paint being a little watery but never mind that.It turned out fantastic! In fact,a friend took a photo of me face painting someone's face.I have to admit it,i was engross to it.

Not that i am good at face painting,but it somehow makes me feel like an artist. Aren't I charming.

The models for my school looks stunningly gorgeous! And just everything about that event was amazing! The time and effort that we invested have finally brought us a fruitful outcome! It was a joy working with people like them.We bonded over the stay backs and just loving each other's company. Im really sure that my school's interact president,vice president and everyone in the interact club was overjoyed and were in tears when we found out we won overall.OVERALL.I mean,who can top that? 

It was our crowning glory and hopefully many more to come.

Mother's Day 2013

This year,i have decided to make my mom something for mother's day.Although Mother's day is not an official holiday or whatnot, it's not wrong to celebrate.Plus i think she should know that she is loved and appreciated.

I have been thinking of what to get for her.My ideas have been around since last year but i never really put a start to it.So this year,I was determined to get it done.No matter how big or small the job is.
To me,it's not the thought that counts(okay,maybe yeah,sure a little) but it's the effort that counts. Luckily for me, i love making things.So i have decided to make her a chocolate dipped marshmallow and a mother's day card.

it's really easy!all you need is:

1.marshmallow

2.semi-sweet chocolate(i bought dark chocolate because the shop ran out of semi-sweet)

3.sprinkles or white chocolate(this is alternative)

first cut off as much chocolate as you want(depends on how much marshmallows you're dealing with),place it in a microwave-safe bowl and place it in the microwave for 30 seconds.Then mix it well.put in the microwave again for 30 seconds.repeat the steps until the chocolate is melted.

 Then,use a fork to hold the marshmallow(i use my hands haha) and dip it gently in the chocolate.place it in a freeze paper(i use a plate oh gosh im bad).while it's still drying,add sprinkles on top to give a little decoration.

you can just serve it like just like that but since it's a gift,i place it in a jar.

i made a simple tag and wrote something behind it.Also,if you want,you can dip that whole fat good-lookin' marshmallow instead of half like mine.

first diy project

in February,i finally made an effort to do something about making crafts.now i don't really know much about arts & crafts but it is a fun hobby once i got the hang of it. So i have decided to put my energy in crafts to start. Im not going to lie,it was a simple diy but it was good for a start.

i had a few inspiration here and there.It's not that great but i like it.so basically you can paint any design you want and however you want it.i can't do any crafts now because i haven't got the time to do so.I have to get my priorities right and focus on one thing only,which is to study for my final exam in high school.

till then!

don't let someone take away your happiness
